Chapter Six:
Reunions
In this chapter we join the medicine cats, this time, Spottedleaf's Story. How will they react to Runningnose in the den?
Spottedleaf lay in her den, taking an afternoon catnap. (a/n: ha ha. Catnap. I made a funny!) She suddenly smelt Redtail and a ShadowClan scent in the main den. She woke with a start, and padded out to main den. There stood Yellowfang, her face happy, eyes glittering, Cinderpelt, a little shy, Runningnose, the ShadowClan medicine cat, and Redtail.
"Runningnose! My old apprentice!" exclaimed Yellowfang, running to lick her old apprentice happily.
"Runningnose, meet my apprentice, Cinderpelt, and Spottedleaf, my partner in Medicine if you say it that way," mewed Yellowfang. Spottedleaf waved her tail, and yawned, and Cinderpelt smiled, shyly.
"Let him be comfortable here. His apprentice is just chatting with a ShadowClan friend. He will be in shortly," mewed Redtail, and exited the den.
"You have an apprentice?" asked Yellowfang. "That's so good for you!" Spottedleaf began licking her fur, which was ruffled from sleeping.
"Where will I sleep?" asked Runningnose.
"Uhhh...we have a few beds in the main den for you and your apprentice," mewed Yellowfang. Spottedleaf yawned, and exited the den. She saw Fireheart and Sandstorm talking together and sharing a meal by the nettle patch. Her paws carried her there.
"Hi, Spottedleaf," mewed Sandstorm.
"Hi. You mind if I join you?" asked Spottedleaf, picking a vole from the fresh-kill pile.
"Not at all," Fireheart replied. Sandstorm smiled, and nodded in agreement. Spottedleaf sat down, and began chatting and eating with her friends.
"Do you know when Swiftpaw and Thornpaw's warrior ceremony is?" asked Spottedleaf.
"Yes. I think Bluestar said it was tommorow. Swiftpaw and Thornpaw deserve it. They've been apprentices for more than 15 moons," mewed Sandstorm. Spottedleaf nodded. She finished her vole, and waited for her friends to finish. Snowkit was playing with Oakpaw, a ShadowClan apprentice. Speckletail, Brindleface, and Dawncloud were laughing together. Night fell, as Spottedleaf and her friends were talking. The elders were sharing stories with a few apprentices, and the apprentices were soon sent to bed. Spottedleaf began to get up.
"I better get back. Yellowfang will yell at me," mewed Spottedleaf.
"But you're a warrior," mewed Fireheart.
"So is Cinderpelt," mewed Spottedleaf, laughing. Sandstorm gave a mrrow of laughter. Spottedleaf said goodnight to her friends, and than left.
That's all for now, peeps!
